Hey Lee....is that really your house address?

Maybe I can come over and raid your fridge? Im getting kinda hungry!

That is his apartment, boy can't afford a house. You should take him food.

Hey Lee we are behind you 100%...you dont need that kind of Bullshit anyways...

Interesting how according to some others the Internet means nothing and is a peanut gallery. Yet this little guy Bleckman seems to take it very seriously (as you know others do too). Tell me if I am wrong. MD was not allowed at this years Olympia. If that is true, I bet they are allowed at next years Olympia. All they had to do is dump Lee. That is called being chicken shit. And this guy Bleckman endorses easily the most embarassing guy to BB and the industry Valentino yet dumps Lee. Something ain't right. And I believe my above scenario is right

No MD contract, no problem...

Lee can:

Get a FLEX contract

Earn IFBB prize money

Get a supplement contract (since none of the supp companies are afraid of the IFBB)

Hmmmm....

I wonder how much minor-league drag racing actually pays?

Maybe he could become a tattoo artist?

To top it all off he takes several cheap shots at the end of the letter telling him how "disapointed" he is with Lee's conduct. Well who made Steve God? If Steve would have been up front Lee wouldn't have had to resort to asking for an answer on a public message board numerous times.

Lee was Steves emplloyee right? Steve has a right to let someone go that hi is unhappy with

I know, I was just looking through one and they use Lee so many times for the ads to subscribe. In the editors columb by steve he always talks about Lee and jokes around if there is a segment in the issue. I remember when Lee first started posting that Steve hadn't returned his call yet, so its been awhile. What is Steve's problem?? I've lost respect for him just from doing this. way to look out for the guys that are making your business what it is.

Lee...
It's amazing how this guy can take the time to write you a letter, yet does not have 5 minutes to return a phone call...No matter how busy one is, it only takes a minute to say" hey...it's a bad time, we'll talk next week"...Blechman is a clown and so is that short,fat lying peice of shit Valentino...That letter definitely sheds some light on some of the amateur business dealings you guys have to put up with in the world of pro bbing...Way to keep it real!

Stark · « **Reply #60 on:** November 30, 2006, 03:06:29 PM »

First of, I feel sorry for you Lee I like the way you think since I concider myself a stand up guy as well and know just as good how life can get all difficult if your thoung or your fingers are faster than your mind.
But I am also a firm believer that talking the truth or not kissing ass is worth a lot, I think most people do not trust their instincts anymore, if you have the feeling something you do is right or wrong and you really listen your guts....you are mostly correct.

I still going to buy MD and I'm still going to read Flex (we don't have much more here in Dublin, apart from Gay4Pay magazines *Hi Derek Anthony*) I remember somebody before saying that he does not read any BB magazines anymore since the day the Internet has involved to an magnitude were you just don't need them anymore.
The reason I still buy and read them is *convenience* I like to sit in bed reading in MD of Flex, I like to take them to work and have a good read there whenever I have nightshift, simply you leaving will not make me stop buying MD as much as seeing Flex being controlled by the IFBB will not stop me reading it.
Honestly I know how you felt, you need to plan ahead and he let you wait that sucks. And I can imagine how every day you had to wait longer must have made it feel even worse.

I wish you Lee all the best, I hope since you have "fallen out" with MD and Flex (in a way) you will still write some articles or do some photoshots.

Cheers for a fun years column

no doubt! Now hes trying to say Lee was in the wrong? what the hell!?! ok Steve

Jujoshu · « **Reply #62 on:** November 30, 2006, 03:08:19 PM »

The point is..if you have problems with your employee you schedule a meeting with him/her and say it face-to-face. At that point the employee can either make changes to their conduct or resign. You don't simply tell your secretary that if Lee calls ignore it because I'm too busy to deal with it at the moment. Obviously Lee's outspoken behavior has made MD frown upon him. They want access to the IFBB for political and financial reasons and you think they're gonna take a chance and tick off the IFBB to keep Lee on board? No one has a problem with this except the fact that Steve/MD didn't have the balls to just come out and say it.

Steve is a little pusssy and a scumbag, only little bitches fire someone through the mail or telephone.

It's ironic when these bb industry folks are cornered in an online debate they typically resort to the ole standby, "well, this is just the internet....in the real world you'd never say any of this in person.....in the real world men discuss things face-to-face.....real men don't comfortably hide behind their computers and do their dirty work; therefore, this discussion is rather meaningless."

Lee gets canned and the motherfucking boss only has the stones enough for a quick letter (his secretary more than likely drafted) letting Lee know "it's time we part ways". Fvckin hypocritical, candyass tactics.

As long as the troops

like him he will propably stay.
Furthermore everytime people being asked what they like most they all say: Yeah I read the Rambling Freak first

... I personally think it's a bunch of shit and don't get me wrong in a way I think of Greg as rather smart and cool, he has found a way to weasel himself into the Bodybuilding ranks without being a bodybuilder...that alone is pretty cunning.

Actually I think Lee got hosed. I'd guess before he decided to do this PDI thing he asked Blechman if he'd back him, and if his contracts at MD and Twinlabs were safe, and he got the go-ahead. Then, Steve sees which way the wind is blowing, burries the hatchet with AMI at the O, and leaves Lee twisting in the wind.

But, assuming that's all true, Lee certainly didn't help himself by calling Steve out every chance he got for the past two months. Gave Steve the perfect excuse.

Screw Lee. He is a loose cannon. If you spoke to your boss the way Lee did your ass would be out the door without a letter! Bottom line is that Lee is a great bb, but he is a poor excuse for a human being. He is a user and abuser. He will use folks like Steve and his fans to get what he needs then he f*cks them and moves down the road until he finds his next friend/victim.

He made his bed, now he has to lie in it. He talks about all the things he has $$$ etc, but the bastard lives in an apartment. No that he lost the 5K/month from MD he won't even be able to afford his racing hobby. Basically, he better head down to the smoothie factory and beg for a job... or hope the hell the man that f*cked him for years (Wayne) delivers one hell of a paycheck.

You're not wrong, but point I was making was even if Lee hadn't acted like a jackass, he still would have been dumped because Steve wants to make nice with the IFBB now.

You guys are so concerned about that fact that LEE PRIEST was DISMISSED via an EMAIL LETTER............meanwh ile, he DISRESPECTED his BOSS "ON LINE"..... DIDN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO CALL HIS BOSS and INSTEAD AIRED THEIR DISPUATE "ON LINE" and ACTED IN DEFIANCE AND VIOLATION OF HIS CONTRACT "ON LINE"................ have you asked yourselves why POOR OLE LEE PRIEST didn't pick up the phone when all this originally started?

Point taken. I just hate to see Steve a man that did so much for Lee, which I know Lee will not deny be drug through the mud. Steve did everything is his power to help Lee including going to Jim and begging for the IFBB to keep Lee. The Lee true to his sorry ass nature stabbed Steve in the back. As they say, "Carma has a wierd way of bitting back!"

AMEN! Like I said, had anyone else pulled this shit on their boss, there wouldn't have even been a letter. I bet Steve lives up to the contract and pays Lee the 5K for December...Lee won't be man enough to post that check will he?

He did pick up the phone Dave. If you'd read what was actually posted
you'd see where Lee said repeatedly he had tried calling Steve.

huge285 · « **Reply #71 on:** November 30, 2006, 03:40:56 PM »

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE...............he tried to call him ONLY AFTER he realized that his contract was at risk. He already humiliated Steve for weeks before that.........

That's one perspective. Obviously, you aren't going to say anything that could be construed as
nonsupportive of Steve. However, if you look at it objectively can you say Steve was correct in
keeping Lee in limbo? If you were concerned about your contract being renewed would you want
some kind of response? No one is going to paint Lee the Saint...However, it wasn't handled professionally on either end.
